Hi, I'm Yam!

I'm an engineer, open sourcerer, and ride-or-die TypeScripter. I care a lot about systems that are sound and pragmatic.

I build and maintain ArkEnv, a typesafe environment variable validator for modern JavaScript runtimes, with first-class support for ArkType and the Standard Schema family of validators.

I'm also designing Bedstack, an opinionated architecture for building production-ready TypeScript backends, focused on explicit data flow, modular domains, and long-term maintainability without framework lock-in.
